[Pibe-division] Google Docs Access Challenge

Dr V
I would be more than happy to make a video for you to show your  enthusiasts so they can clearly see where the issues are and how problematic google docs is for a blind person. A picture is worth a thousand words but a video is worth a million.

>>Google docs uses a lot of images. With my most advanced router commands I typically can get most parts to work, but it is really imaged based as in images of words not text itself so jaws or WE or any talking software will fail to find it or talk it. If the teachers load to google docs or send an email link to google docs it will open in an image and you can't even copy and paste to word or find a way to extract the text to read it. Your children will be very frustrated with it
